Her name was Spooky and she was a good cat. We adopted her when she was about a year old and she lived with us and our other cats for 11 years. When I’d go to bed at night she would come with me and lay down beside me. I’d pet her and we would both fall off to sleep. I will miss her. :(

sad

Sorry to hear that. :(

My sympathies. I remember every cat we've ever had and still miss them all. Do you have a photo?

Real sorry to hear that :(

I'm so sorry to hear it, I myself always take it hard when a pet dies. My sympathies.

Well you gave her a good long life full of food, strokes, and relaxed lounges in the sun. A regal kitty existence compared to stray cats. I'm sure she appreciated it.

So sorry. I know that my lil' sister isn't over the death of her cat last year.

My sympathies. I remember every cat we've ever had and still miss them all. Do you have a photo?

Yes, but no place to post it.

sorry.
my kitty died last august, 18 years old.

My condolences.

I've lost and 'lost'... 6 cats? over the past 7 years, and I like them too :(

Yes, but no place to post it.

It's only a cat. I know that she must have had some sort of emotional connection with you, but all living things die. People need to stop tormenting themselves about mundane occurrences.

Death is not mundane. Death is the ceasation of existance or at the very least the beginning of the process.

Always atleast one loud-mouthed insensitive jerk who is proud of his ability to be that loud-mouthed, and that insensitive.

Must be one of those who grew up torturing neighborhood cats, or never could get his own pet to love him.

I feel for you and the loss of your companion. Pets, expecially cats, can extend our lives with the enrichment, relaxation, and unconditional love they provide.

I am sorry for your loss. I used to have a cat but I was forced to give it away when my mother and me moved to England. I miss him everyday but I know he is happy with his new owner. Remember do not listen to any insensitive jerks, ok? One day the pain will end and you will see your cat again.

Thank you. Here is her picture. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v287/Celtlund/Spookie0604.jpg

I'm posting to correct - well not correct - to amend their beliefs on death and loss. I know that I might seem childish, but you really do need to realize that death is not a big deal. Think of the last person that died in your family. When was that last time you sat down and reflected on those wonderful memories with them? The answer is probably: five days after the death. In time we completely forget the loss and almost act like it never happened. It IS a mundane act. It's practically entirely worthless to whine about it.

I'm sorry if I hurt anyone's feelings. I am merely trying to open your eyes...

Our cat just became blind. Then again she's about 24 years.

Also, I would like to address the fact that I am not posting in an angry tone. Throughout this whole process, I have not been "pissed off".

I offer you my condolences.

And for all of you ignorant pieces shit: I have a cat and two dogs. I DO have feelings. I also have very strong feelings about death.

You may have strong feelings about death, but you are certainly very insensitive to the feelings of other people. Also, if you are not intelligent enough to post in this thread without cussing, please move to another thread that is more in line with your intelligence. :mad:

Bullshit.

Otherwise you would not have called me an ass and other people 'ignorant pieces of shit'.

No, you never completely forget the loss. I have lost many family members, and pets. I have never forgotten them or the loss.

You did, and I accept your apology.

Ahem...What was that about the cussing? And you're talking about MY level of intelligence? Excuse me while I take the time to laugh.

Now that I've had my single session of laughter for one day - since I'm such an "insensitive jerk" - How is it inappropriate for me to open my views on a public forum and say maybe two curse words while others throw plethoras of insults at me such as "bastard", "insensitive jerk", "insensitive jerk", and....what was that other one? Oh yeah, "insensitive jerk" (Such a range of vocabulary from you lovely people). Besides, this is a PUBLIC forum. The only people that control what I say are the mods, and so far, it seems that they have to problem with me speaking. I feel sorry for you all. Perhaps you need to stop hating so much.


Thank you Celtlund.

I feel very sorry for you. You are a very angry person and your anger manifests itself in your insensitivity to other people. I started this thread because I feel bad about the lost of my friend who was a cat. I did not start it so people could fight and cuss. I hope you understand what I am saying.

I completely understand what you're saying. I'm not really an angry person. I'm practical but not angry. Before anyone says anything about me being crazy, yes, I have been sent to a pyschiatrist before. He told my father that he cannot find a single thing wrong with me.

Listen...I don't like using emotions in my conversing. I use logic. Please, do not think that I am a bad person.

Sorry to hear about your kitty, Celtlund. It sounds like she had a good life.

Logic???

My mom died when i was 15. Do ANY of you know how hard that is? You learn to get over it. And yes, death IS mundane.

The passing of your mother was hard and you had to learn to get over it.

That is not mundane.

mundane

adj 1: found in the ordinary course of events; "a placid everyday scene"; "it was a routine day"; "there's nothing quite like a real...train conductor to add color to a quotidian commute"- Anita Diamant [syn: everyday, quotidian, routine, unremarkable, workaday] 2: concerned with the world or worldly matters; "mundane affairs"; "he developed an immense terrestrial practicality" [syn: terrestrial] 3: belonging to this earth or world; not ideal or heavenly; "not a fairy palace; yet a mundane wonder of unimagined kind"; "so terrene a being as himself" [syn: terrene]

I'm so sorry man

Wow...Don't you ever give up?

The act was mundane. The act was death. Death happens every day. It is part of the "ordinary course of events". The passing of my mother was an event. It took place in a certain place in time (the course). And since death is always occuring, it was VERY ordinary.

You're debating with an English major. I know what I am talking about. Besides, I shouldn't worry about having to argue with you anyway. You were required to look up the definition of the word that we were arguing about from the beginning. Grow up...

It's only a cat. I know that she must have had some sort of emotional connection with you, but all living things die. People need to stop tormenting themselves about mundane occurrences.

You are, IF.

He's feeling sad.

Whadda YOU do?

"Oh, it's only a cat."

Outstanding...I have another thorn in my side now.

I remember when my cat died. 18 years old. I loved him like a brother since we grew old together.

The thing I regret most is not taking more pictures. Before I get another pet the first thing I'll do is get a digicam.

Outstanding...I have another thorn in my side now.

Death is mundane because it happens every day? Fantastic, you are CORRECT, now stop hijacking this thread with your pointless arguments. Same goes for all the rest of you.

The poster did not post, in grief, to get some semantical bullshit about how ordinary death is and pages of random people sniping at each other! Obviously, death is painful regardless of how mundane it is, and you can't "just get over it" because some dude online says so.

My heartfelt sympathies. Our pets are loved as members of our family, and the loss of one is hard. When I was born and brought home from the hospital, my Dad got a 6 week old collie pup, Sandy, for me. I was an only child so he was like my brother. Wanna guess my real name? Yup....Sandy.

Sorry to hear that; I have this cat that is like 18 or 19 years old and he won't die. He seems so miserable but he continues to live!!! When he DOES die I will be sad but happy (in a stange way). :(

It's only a cat. I know that she must have had some sort of emotional connection with you, but all living things die. People need to stop tormenting themselves about mundane occurrences.

Not a very empathetic remark; I question why anyone would have to post something so curt and dismissive when another human being is grieving.

People need to avoid posting hurtful things.

:( NONONONONO! Not a cat! I love cats! WAAAAAAHHH!!! :(

Sorry to hear about this :(

I lost my mutt a year and a half ago, it's rough.

Celtland, she was a very striking cat. I'm sorry for your loss.
